Activists in Maine are resisting ICE immigration raids in Portland and Lewiston that the Trump administration dubbed "Operation Catch of the Day." The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of asylum seekers and Somali immigrants in particular. "As a small state, community means a lot," says Mufalo Chitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks.

We speak with Mother Jones voting rights correspondent Ari Berman about the shocking FBI raid on an elections hub in Fulton County, Georgia. Federal agents were seeking records related to the 2020 presidential election, which President Donald Trump continues to falsely claim he won despite his loss to Joe Biden that year. During his efforts to overturn the election results, Trump pressured local officials to "find" him an additional 11,780 votes. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was on the scene Friday despite having no domestic law enforcement authority. The raid comes amid an ongoing federal probe into the 2020 election.
"The fact that they seized 700 boxes of ballots was incredibly disturbing and sets a chilling precedent for how Trump might try to interfere in the 2026 election," says Berman, who ties the raid in Georgia to the administration's pressure on Minnesota to hand over voter rolls. "This is now a multifront, concerted effort to try to interfere in the midterm elections."
